Hello.

[Jeff Something]

Where to start? I guess a little about myself.

I am 29 years old, my name is Jeff, and I'm inflicted with a severe case of wanderlust. Born and raised in Northeastern PA, this condition has prevented me from staying with any single employer for very long, and has led me to believe that the only way to get to where I want to go, or at least the most practical way, is involved with real estate investing. I've been listening to REI podcasts and reading all sorts of everything for the past two years in addition to reading a number of assorted financial periodicals in general (any sort of periodical being another big weakness for me), and I think it's finally time to take what I've learned and take some action.

So, here I am. I have actually only come across this site about a month ago, which is surprising to me because I think it's one of the better and more informative sites on the net about the subject. I am about to settle into Oregon for a while, and as soon as I do, I'll be looking to take my first real steps, so I'm going to be chock full of questions (although I'm well aware of how to use the search feature).

That's that. I'd happy to be here, and I'm looking forward to any and all discussion. And thanks for having me,

Jeff
